Heaven or hell? 2015

  

My fingers reach

Into it

As if into

A wrinkled bed sheet,

Pulpy and tender,

And nearly as sweet,

The scent of it

More arrosing than

Any morning cup

Of joe

It’s feel as tender

As a flower I might

Reach into

To where the nectar

Hides, this a place

Of dreams, where

All the most intense

Desires reside,

Deep inside,

Passed the gatekeeper,

Through the woods

Of saplings,

To the button that

When pushed

Sets it all to

Vibrate,

This soft, vulnerable,

Puffy place

I mistake for heaven

But could be hell

If I don’t reach it.
